This month’s featured conversation

Mike Miller, vCISO and founder of ShowMeSecurity will be kicking off the first meeting. He has nearly three decades in Tech and Cybersecurity and is now working on the front lines of AI.

He’ll explore how AI can help people and organizations:

• Discover new opportunities and ideas
• Reach and serve customers more effectively
• Automate repetitive work
• Build prototypes and test concepts quickly
• Expand what individuals and small teams can accomplish
• Move people toward more creative and higher-value work
• Adopt AI responsibly while keeping human judgment at the center

The presentation will be followed by open conversation, and time to meet others interested in AI.

After that, we will hear from Jared Kucij, Cybersecurity Analyst at City Utilities on his perspectives of AI, it's current state, and where it's going.

Why our region needs a thriving AI community

AI is developing too quickly for any one person, business, school, or community to navigate alone.

A strong regional AI community gives people a place to compare notes, see what others are building, share lessons, discuss concerns, and learn from people with different backgrounds and experiences.

It can help businesses adopt AI more effectively, give builders opportunities to demonstrate their work, connect students with experienced professionals, and make emerging technology more approachable for newcomers.

Most importantly, it gives Missouri and the Ozarks an opportunity to help shape the future, not merely react to changes happening elsewhere.

The ShowMe AI Exchange is intended to become a place where relationships form, ideas are shared, collaborations begin, and people help one another make practical and responsible use of AI.
